As much as I love these quippy jokes at their expense, I feel that our reliance on humor allows for ambiguity. The only appropriate response to anyone saying they're an alpha male is, "that's really fucking stupid."

Hey gurl, you like Star Citizen? Because I’ve been in development for a long time and I still don’t work.

Even if alpha wolves were a real thing calling yourself an alpha then basically means that you're a coward who will only nip at the heels of an enemy when you are absolutely sure you have vastly overwhelming numbers and can wear your enemy down over time, because you sure as shit can't take them down one on one. TL;DR everyone calling themselves an alpha is a weakling.

since the author retracted the paper after actually studying wolves in the wild, where the behaviour doesn't occur at all, it's basically just a label for how you would behave if locked in a cage.

...also, is that an ai andrew tate? he's not that wide.

And he definitely doesn't have that much chin.

Idk if it's AI Tate.

Yeah the papers been heavily discredited, but people like putting themselves in boxes with labels. Just look at myer Briggs

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

the ai put in a bit too much Vin Diesel.

Balloon animal version of tate

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip -1 points 7 hours ago

It got the point across without having to give the real dipshit any extra attention.
In this case, I think it was a good use.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Now do alpha testers

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 hours ago

I also link incel with indev, which is an even earlier more flawed version of the software.

Stable Release men assemble!

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I was stable release male but now I'm no longer supported. So I'm no longer secure, I don't have the latest features, and I'm something most people don't want to mess with. However, there's a certain demographic that thinks I'm pretty great so I've got that going for me.

Saying you're an alpha just kinda sounds like a furry thing

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Oh so I am an alpha male after all.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 hours ago

Usually, alphas only emerge in captivity. Alpha males subconsciously are feeling trapped and incarcerated I believe, which would explain a lot.

You can also think of it in physics terms as low penetrating radiation.
